Remember when gameplay mattered more than cutscenes ?

No ? Well I can't say I'm surprized.

@tobougg: Many are, yes.

What I want to see from RPGs is better gameplay.

No seriously, I'm not trying to be a douche (okay I am but thats not the point). In my experience a great RPG doesn't even need halfway decent gameplay to be good (how else does one explain Skyrim and Final Fantasy), and developers will no doubt take advantage of that.

Plus as TC already mentioned Lore is very important for RPGs.

See Role Playing is not like other genres, its not Mechanical, its more Idealistic (most of the game is power by your imiganition and your ability to suspend belief) , without its lore an RPG just turns into number crunching, unlike Platformers, Racers and Action games were theres underlying mechanics that make it fun.

And now you know..... :)

@zjun: Thanks for the reply! I ended up buying Killzone and love it! I was able to get it brand new at Best Buy for $39.99 so that made it even more worth it.

And why's that?

@zjun:

Touche!

I had assumed he had an PS3 already...

Now is the best time to buy one though, it's cheap and so are all the games. Very worth it.

Souls series alone being worth it!

Thanks for the reply! Yes for the PS4. Forgive me if I'm referring to those type of games incorrectly.

I'm a 22 year old college student so I don't really want to deal with young immature kids all the time. I've encountered that in NFS lately so I just turned chat off. I looked into Killzone and that does look like a good game. Is there any particular reason you wouldn't recommend Battlefield? I saw that the maps were larger and it was more of a team effort to accomplish the missions. I'm a complete noob when it comes to this type of games so your guidance is much appreciated! Thanks!
